I've been struggling a lot with the concept of a HP. growing up in a religious household (dad was a minister) didn't help. I guess for now my concept of a higher power is nature because I just see too much beauty and power in nature for it not to be greater than myself.
but I also see my HP as part of myself that is slowly waking up - it's the part of me that wants to do what's right and believe in positive things.
ever since I was introduced to mindfulness meditation I can come to a place of piece where I do feel I connect with that better inner part of myself & since mindfullness meditation is all about experiencing everything in its fullest in the now it fits in well with AA philosophy of staying in the moment.

I guess ultimately I believe that we all have a spark of nature or the universe within us that is our best part and our job is to make contact with that part as much as possible. Hope that made sense.
